Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices 211
Use the Adhoc service on this server? (Y/N) [Y] :
If you want this server to act as a multi-caller (up to 6 callers)
conferencing server, enter y. If not, enter n.
6The UPS Monitoring prompt appears:
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be used with VCX
systems to avoid disruption due to a power outage. VCX
provides a UPS monitoring service which tracks the UPS's
status and performs a safe shutdown when the its battery is
depleted during a long power outage. To use this feature,
you must have a compatible UPS installed and configured in
accordance with the VCX documentation.
Enable UPS monitoring? [N] :
If you do not have a UPS installed and enter n (or press Enter); the
remaining UPS configuration prompts are not displayed.
If you do have a UPS installed and enter y and see Configuring UPS
Monitoring for information on the subsequent UPS configuration
prompts.
7After completing the Adhoc Conferencing and UPS Monitoring prompts,
the server reboots. When the reboot process has been completed, the
system starts VCX 7.1.x services.
8After the system has completed the restart process, verify that the
upgrade has occurred by entering this command:
ls -l /opt/3com/VCX
The symbolic link (VCX) should point to the new version of the VCX
software (7.1.xc). If the link does not point to the new version, wait a few
minutes and reenter the command. This could take several minutes and it
is important the link pointer is correct before proceeding.
Example Output
/opt/3com/VCX -> /opt/3com/VCX.7.1.xc
9Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all the other branch office servers in
Region 2.
Configuring UPS
Monitoring
During the upgrade of a VCX server, you are asked if you want to enable
UPS monitoring. UPS monitoring can also be enabled after you upgrade
to VCX version 7.1 software. See Chapter 8, especially Adding UPS
Support to an Existing VCX System, or more information on UPS
monitoring.
